This looks like a great deal for a carbon frame with great modern geometry and all good components. It has a unique changeable reach (the steer tube can be moved) and cable routing through the headset. In my view the SLX build is the better value, but either way, this thing just looks good.
Don't know this brand and can't say if they are made well or not, but some of the components are good at this price. Bomber is the same a a Fox Float. XT and SLX are good.
But the Intense 951 Trail from Costco was cheaper and had more travel and sold through Costco, so great backup. Intense has a good reputation. The only lesser components on the 951 bikes were the SRAM NX drive train. I'd go there over this.

I agree that the Intense 951 Trail is a better value. This looks so good though, I can probably rationalize the extra $900
The SLX build doesn't have SLX brakes. The costco deal is better especially because it has the grip damper, doesn't look like this bomber version has the grip damper and the xt build has fit4
paid about the same for an ibis rip with SRAM n/gx build which is also an xC. The ibis slx build was even more money. If I saw this I probably would have pulled the trigger on this
They show a FOX FLOAT X2 FACTORY (secondary reservoir with extra features) shock on some of the pictures but the XT spec includes a FLOAT DPS FACTORY (one main reservoir)
Look at the specs carefully because you can't trust the photos.. I'd assume unintentional, but also seems a bit shady.

Side note, you have to wear lifts in your boots in order to ride these
